Thank you Melody. So glad your family enjoyed their stay along the MS Coast. Sorry about the rain, but it does add to the beautiful green in the area & can be a Summer afternoon thing in the heat that time of year....at least it cools things off some. So glad you were able to enjoy the area. Thanks, Claire & Harold

Great place to relax!

We love nature experiences and there are many outdoor things to do within an hour's drive of here. The cottage was a great place to relax at the end of the day. Good eating options very close. The beach was a short walk as well. A well equipped kitchen for preparing meals.

Short gulf Beach getaway

This place was very "homey" we enjoyed our stay as there was plenty of space and plenty of things to do while in the home and plenty of things to do within walking distance of the home. Very nice neighborhood. Great restaurants nearby. The home was very well furnished with everything we would need plus some. All in all in was a great stay. 👍

Host was very easy to communicate with, the house is as described and in a great location with easy access to the beach. Centrally located on the Gulf Coast. The place is very spacious and we only used one of the bedrooms, nice to sit on the screened in front porch.

Sisters vacation

My sisters and I go to the Mississippi coast (specifically the Long Beach area) every fall to get away and enjoy each other. Gulf Palms cottage has been a favorite of ours for the last 3 years. It's a cozy set up and just 2-3 blocks from the beach, as well as being close to good food and entertainment. The hosts are top notch!!
